Because there can be bugs and other issues like mold, fungus, weeds, stray seeds, etc, the pucks, cubes and rooters start out sterile. I note some plants root faster in the Rapid Rooters than they do with the rockwool or visaversa, depends on the phenotype.

I worked very hard over a 2 year period to rid myself of gnats, mites, and any other bug issue. Now I only use sterilized out of the bag stuff.
WashougalWonder Reviewed by WashougalWonder on . Rooting clones in dirt questions... So I was wondering what people are having success with rooting clones? I'm making my 1st group of clones in dirt and would greatly appreciate some feedback on do's and donts. Mainly I was wondering if I actually need a root starter or can I get by without it? If it is necessary wat is the brand to go with? Thanks!!! Rating: 5
